Multiple award winning Afro-fusion singer, Damini Ogulu, stage named Burna Boy, has disclosed the inspiration behind his yet-to-be released album ‘I Told Them’.
The singer narrated how he took a tour of his past tweets on Twitter now X and he discovered that he had written about all he is achieving today hence the title of his forthcoming album “I Told Them”.
Burna Boy disclosed this while appearing in an interview with American media outlet, Complex.
“Them’ in my album title, is anyone that ever didn’t believe [in me] at any point in time.
“The way the name of this album came up is because one random day, I just went on my Twitter [page], and I started scrolling down to my old tweets. I wanted to see what the first tweet I ever tweeted was, for some strange reason.
“And then it just sent me down this rabbit hole, where I’m just looking at everything I ever said. I’m like, wow! It’s crazy. I really did say all these sh*ts that is happening now. And that kind of made me to name my album, ‘I Told Them’.
The album release date has been set for Friday, August 25, 2023.
Burna Boy has further disclosed that the album will have a sequel which would be released later.
